Wireless Network Security Market Analysis

The Wireless Network Security Market is expected to register a CAGR of 12.5% during the forecast period.

  • The growing number of enterprises opting for digital networks and mobile devices is further influencing the market. According to a report from the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA), more than a third (33%) of service providers, technology vendors, and enterprises already have plans to deploy Wi-Fi 7 by the end of last year. Moreover, the report also revealed that Wi-Fi 6E had become the de facto industry standard, with 53% having already deployed the technology and a further 44% working on plans to adopt Wi-Fi 6E in the next 12-18 months. Such developments are expected to influence enterprises to enhance their security as well.
  • The global adoption of Wi-Fi is on the rise in both commercial and residential space, with a growing number of mobile devices that are connected to high-speed internet is on the rise. According to Cisco, the Wi-Fi hotspots are expected to grow to 628 million public Wi-Fi hotspots by this year from 169 million in 2018. The growing adoption of IoT augments growth. With the change in the number of Wi-Fi hotspots, security risks are increasing, and these enterprises are moving toward adopting robust encryption. WEP uses an old encryption method and holds prominence in old systems, whereas WPA is one of the widely used standards among network devices.
  • WEP and TKIP protocols were deemed insecure many years ago. Wi-Fi connections carried out via these protocols can be decrypted relatively quickly, and various hardware vendors are increasingly avoiding these protocol usage. Starting with May 2019, Windows 10 warned its users if they attempted to connect to a Wi-Fi network that uses these protocols. Apart from this, WPA-enabled devices are prone to attacks. For instance, a new bug present on the chips made by Broadcom and Cypress rendered about one billion devices vulnerable to an attack that can decrypt information in transit, and the bug is called 'Kr00k'. Using the flaw, attackers can exfiltrate information by intercepting and decrypting packets sent over the WPA2 network.
  • Devices, such as Amazon Echo, Kindle, iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Google Nexus, Samsung Galaxy, Raspberry Pi 3, Xiaomi, and some Asus and Huawei products, tested positive for Kr00k vulnerability. Due to such developments, the wireless security demand is expected to become vital, especially in network-handling mission-critical workloads. With the increasing deployment of IoT and BYOD trends, the need for wireless network security is expected to be one of the enterprises' priorities. According to a study by Outpost24, 61% of security experts mentioned that BYOD offers a severe threat to their organization, and 21% feared attacks via office-based IoT devices, such as printers. The greatest wireless attack threats were password theft at 62% and Botnet/Malware threats at 60%.
  • Further, emerging economies plan to boost connectivity to contribute to the market growth rate. For instance, Brazil announced plans to increase public Wi-Fi availability. According to the technical cooperation agreements signed by the Banco do Brasil Foundation and the Brazilian Micro and Small Business Support Service (SEBRAE) with the Ministry of Communications, approximately 500 new Wi-Fi hotspots will be put in place by last year, benefiting 1,000 locations nationwide. The growing adoption of IoT augments growth. With the change in the number of Wi-Fi hotspots, security risks are increasing, and these enterprises are moving toward adopting robust encryption.
  • The CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency), which is a part of the Department of Homeland Security, warned of COVID-19 network-security issues, with the most common including phishing, malware distribution, registration of new domain names containing wording related to coronavirus or COVID-19 and attacks against newly and often rapidly deployed remote-access and teleworking infrastructure. In April 2020, CISA released new guidance on how remote government workers and potentially others should address network security. It included interim Trusted Internet Connections (TIC) 3.0 advice to aid agencies in securing their network and cloud environments.

Wireless Network Security Industry Overview

The wireless network security market is fragmented; many players, such as Cisco Systems, Inc., Juniper Networks, Symantec Corporation, Fortinet, Inc., and Aruba Networks, occupy a smaller market share. The players are pursuing a mergers and acquisitions strategy to strengthen their product portfolio. Also, companies in the market are continually updating their existing product portfolio with the latest technologies.

  • December 2022 - Cradlepoint launched its zero-trust network access (ZTNA) service as part of the NetCloud Exchange (NCX) platform, including its Secure Connect and Advanced SD-WAN products. NetCloud software platform that supports wireless WAN delivered through 4G LTE and 5G wireless edge routers.
  • September 2022 - Broadcom launched the Trident chip targeting advanced enterprise network security by taking advantage of a basic security principle. The new Trident chip, which boasts 12.8 terabits per second (Tbps) of switching capacity, provides enterprises with enhanced security built specifically for the core corporate network layer. The chip offers fingerprinting capability and probes necessary for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning-based servers to perform threat detection and response.
